Electrification of equipment
  • Change in product design

  • Offering of integrated system

  • Initial production in station

  • Integrated system as costing unit

  • Change in initial cost structure of the equipment

  • High upfront cost

  • High prices

  • Change in business model

Shift to service-based circular business models
  • Retained assets ownership

  • Reuse of assets in several cycles

  • Vertical integration

  • Change in costing technique: from full costing to LCC

  • Change in cost structure

  • Pricing based on value not cost

  • Change in cost management: shift to target costing for cost and risk management

  • High costs for battery replacement

  • Circulation of batteries

Refurbishment and reuse of batteries
  • Reduced cost for battery replacement

  • Change in cost structure: adding costs related to circular activities

  • High battery cost, especially for high duty use

  • Focusing on improving battery technology

Improved battery technology
  • Better battery storage capacity and longer lifetime

  • Longer lifecycles of batteries and high residual value

  • Battery cost for high duty remains high

  • High cost for equipment management in medium duty

  • Further development in battery technology and in the equipment
